Cellphones cause acne?
So recently my skin has decided to be a total bitchachos and break out like crazy. They weren't like normal pimples.. they were a lot worse but to save you all from disgust I won't describe them. What made things weirder was that the breakouts were all located on one spot of my face, on the right side around the hair line.
This was very strange, it has never happened to me before. I wash my face twice daily.. I didn't understand at all. For the next few days I cleansed like a maniac. 5 Times a day at most but it did nothing.. so i decided to do a little research. (HALLELUJAH for Google!) And I found out the cause of my acne can be because of my phone.
Wait, phones can cause acne? Weird but true.
So with the help of Google I found out that constant use of a mobile phone can cause bacteria build up on the screen. And placing it near your face can cause clogged pores that cause skin irritation and even worse, acne! If I think about it, it's not suprising at all. My hands go through the day touching door handles, food, table tops, keyboards and what not. I also find that I place my phone on top of restaurant tables, public bathroom counter tops frequently. And all those germs/bacteria/yukky stuff is transferred onto my mobile phone. D:
And according to a report I read on this issue, "cell phone handsets are more contaminated than shoes, door knobs and toilets." gross! D:<
There is only one solution to this problem, chuck out my phone and get a new one D: If you didn't catch on,
that was a joke btw. All I needed to do was to wipe my phone screen and clean it regularly to avoid unnecessary bacteria from getting onto my skin. It is also important to keep your hands clean. It's as simple as that.
For now I'm gonna carry on using my new facewash by 10.0.6 (which I will write a review on very soon!) and hope the acne goes away in the next few days!

*RANT* Expired Cleansers. Be careful.
Recently I've been wondering why my skin was starting to break out more and get irritated. I thought it was just genetics because my older brother has almost moon surface face(I seriously would've cried if it was genetics, cause nothing can cure that shet o(╥﹏╥)o).
Its not that bad, but it was pretty bad acne. I bought another (same) cleanser recently because its almost run out. Then I realized the old cleanser smells.... Kind of similar to feet. Lol. Well not exactly but SLIGHTLY. I think its expired and thats why my skins been growing strange bumps and all sorts .___. Its understandable, I've had the cleanser forever because I stopped using it for a few months and started using it again lawl 0,,0

May's Skin Care Routine & Product Review
SUP.
Everyone's skin types are different. There's combination, oily, dry and quite possibly more. I'm not an expert on skin care, and I'm trying to fight my battles with acne too, so I'm not saying I know everything about skin.
My typical skincare routine as of now is:
- Cleanse
- Tone
- Moisturise
- Treat
What do I mean by treat?
By treat I really mean treat my acne. This year, for some reason I've started to break out a lot on my forehead and I don't know why.. possibly because this year has been a lot more stressful for me but that's besides the point!
Remember there is no right or wrong routine, as everyone's needs are different.
The products I use
No money for pricey skincare products? Unsure if they actually work for you? Have no fear, drugstore products are equally capable of doing the job as high-end ones whilst being cost effective too! You just have to do a little homework before heading out~
I'm using pretty cheap items as a part of my routine.. so do they suck? No, actually, they're working pretty well. There are certain items that don't seem to be doing much for my skin and certain items that are working pretty well. Let's see..
